Phil seems to have jumped to all sorts of conclusions based on not much evidence. Mathew I think you’re right, Eric. Phil seems to have jumped to all sorts of conclusions based on not much evidence.

Tech.memeorandum's traffic is down... okay, that can tell us any number of things: there are meme trackers and meme diggers a-plenty these days, so perhaps memeorandum's market share is dropping (I think Gabe's expansion strategy is fab-o, by the way, as I point out <a href="http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/04/04/105130.php" rel="nofollow">here</a>). Or perhaps there haven't been quite as many red hot news stories in the past few months. Another possibility -- and another something I point out in the piece above -- is that tech.memeorandum can do more to expand the number of sources that it covers. I don’t buy Sim’s argument.

Can everything old be new again? Is it about the writing? The subject? Both? Do bloggers have their best writing behind them a mere 12 months into it (and if so, who’s next)? Are the aggregators ruining good writing by encouraging bloggers to pander to what’s topical, and therefore overexposed and boring before the best words are written?
